Troy, A lot of work has been put into FreeFont in the past year, but Ubuntu as of 2008-07-07 had a version that hadn't been touched since 2006, and which had very poor hints and instructions.
See the GNU FreeFont project site: https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/freefont/ Specifically, issues such as hinting and instructing have now been addressed, and the family generally is rendered much better than before (in all operating systems) The version of FreeFont in Ubuntu Intrepid (although already quite old) is rendered much better than the one you refer to. I consider this issue to be fixed in all recent versions of GNU FreeFont. Please have a look. Cheers! -- HINTING: FreeMono suffers from strange hinting. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/246164 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
